Cybersecurity Resilience in Operational Technology Amid Rising Threats

• •Operational technology systems face heightened threats from nation-state actors.
• •CI Fortify provides frameworks for rapid isolation and recovery of compromised systems.
• •Upcoming workshops will enhance preparedness for critical infrastructure operators.

Operational technology (OT) systems are increasingly targeted by nation-state cyber actors, necessitating rapid recovery and resilience strategies. The CI Fortify initiative offers actionable guidance for critical infrastructure operators to isolate vulnerable systems and restore compromised services. The upcoming workshop on September 21, 2026, will focus on enhancing readiness against such attacks. Additionally, the September 2026 CISA Tabletop Exercise Package (CTEP) Workshop will address active shooter scenarios in houses of worship, emphasizing the importance of preparedness across sectors. These initiatives aim to bolster defenses and ensure continuity of essential services during cyber incidents.
